Hey there, I have been addicted since I was 14 I started watching porn out of curiosity and as a joke but it has turned into something serious. I spent most of teenage years feeling lonely and extremely anxious 24/7 Especially around my palms would sweat, face headache due to the fact I’m overthinking,shallow breathing, tightness in my stomach, and negative thoughts, and the inability to think I swear I genuinely wasn’t able to tap into my brain it’s like I left my own body and watching demon control it all because I’m around people truly no one deserves to feel this way but At the time I used to watch it on a daily so ofc actions have consequences but I found the gym to cope with my anxiety at the age of 18 and I’ve managed to get pretty jacked I’m 180 lbs and 5’10 14% straight muscle.thinking that would make me more attractive and get me real girls but all it did was put a kiddy bandage on a massive wound. I had a few rushes of confident now after hitting the gym but I still felt the same now it’s worst because I’m 20 and an adult I’m jacked but still anxious as hell I’ve been trying to ignoring nofap thinking it’s a stupid obsession that I’ll magically quit one day but that that day never came so With that being said that’s my story and I’m ready to improve I do it on average every 3 days a massive improve from the daily when I first started but I watch more aggressive porn now and the sessions are much longer abt 3 sometimes 4 hours so it’s worst.

Sounds like you had it rough man, anxiety is such a kick in the ass. You want the best possible outcome, I’ve never been the best at talking to strangers/ small talk. Flirting I’m horrible. Anxiety gets the best of me when I’m consistently relapsing.

bro during my childhood my friend told me during highschool, now a genz and later kids learning this just from ads itself.

I was completely off of social media for a year and a half, for me personally it help to an extent but Whenever I felt sad, lonely, bored, or horny I would go back to it.

Brother you’re in the right place, we’re all on the same journey, but just different journeys if you know what I mean. I’m suffering too. I found out about this addiction September last year, just before I turned 19 but growing up I suffered from the effects of it all along through my teenage years. We’ll get there man, I’m getting rid of social media because I’m dead serious about this journey man, good luck
